I was also wondering on what the general consensus is on SM or if any groups intend to play together. PAX East recently had a great fan-run gym league and also a venue-hosted tournament. Regardless of whether or not there will be any official or unofficial events it would still be cool for people to have some VGC and / or Smogon OU battles together.

Eh...I get the most mileage ouf of Streetpass at Pre-Reg Thursday. After that, Opening and Closing Ceremonies. I don't touch my 3DS much outside those times unless I'm playing Super Smash Bros. 3DS or the Wii U version in the Game Room.

Sun and Moon....I feel like for Battles, you need to give yourself and your opponent a few minutes to prepare first. More so if you or them want to play with certain rules in place.

I have both Sun and Moon now but plan to only bring Pokemon Sun with me. Typically I do the post-game story content in Pokemon and then move on to other games. Poke Bank being cross-gen for the 5th, 6th and 7th Gen games though neabs if you like to restart the game from scratch and play over, at least you can save all of your Pokemon ^_^
